Cuisine of Oldenburg for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

Oldenburg is dominated by traditional Saxon cuisine, many of whose recipes have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Regional gastronomy has many interesting features. The townspeople are big fans of coffee and chocolate. They prefer drinking coffee hot and strong, without any additives, and fresh pastries are considered the best complement to a cup of coffee. There is an interesting story about coffee. Many years ago, restrictions imposed on the import of this product triggered mass protests among locals. In the days of the GDR, Saxony authorities decided to replace natural coffee with chicory drink, but such changes faced criticism and turned into the so-called “Coffee Rebellion”. Nowadays, locals can’t do without a chocolate dessert and coffee for a single day. Those having a sweet tooth should never pass by local pastry shops.
